Yearbook—Career & Technical – CTE

In this twice weekly, yearlong class, students design, lay out, edit, and print the 24-25 PSCS Yearbook. Over the course of three terms, students use community-process to decide on a theme to represent the school year, and collaborate to ensure representation of the student experience, student creativity, and to archive important local and global events.

In small and full group process, we’ll create a timeline, track deadlines, write copy, take pictures, solicit content, and organize pages using a fun, accessible, online cloud-based marketing platform (Canva!).  The final product will be professionally printed and shared with the community at the end of the school year,

Middle School students who register, commit to all three terms, as well as to participation, attendance, and respectful collaboration, will receive Elective Credit on your transcript.

High School students who register, commit to all three terms, as well as to participation, attendance, and respectful collaboration, will receive full Career & Technical OR Elective Credit based on your need.

If any student would like to join the class in Spring Term, please reach out to Sieglinde for permission. You’ll be eligible to receive partial credit (1/3) upon completion.

Shop Life (Session 2) (Scobie)

CTE Credit

There are two available sessions of Shop Life. They are not levels. You can take one or both sessions, but please do not make plans or ask permission to come only once a week.*

In Winter Term, we’ll:

  • Finish up automata projects started in the fall, or you’ll make a quick simple one if you’re new to the class.
  • Discuss options for additional work, including working on the canoe, and/or several other project options.
  • Continue to serve the school with learning skills and using them to make needed objects and/or repairs as necessary.*We’ve tried it, and it’s just not enough connection to the work and skills of the class.
